Skin type: Normal, dry, oily & combination (oily-dry)
To get your day off to a good start with thoroughly nourished and protected skin, our Botanical Day Cream is the perfect ally. It combines a gentle base cream with jojoba, calendula and maracuja oil (also known as passionflower seed oil), all of which nourish and soothe the skin, helping to restore and replenish its natural barrier function against environmental stressors. It also helps reduce the appearance of lines, scars and blemishes. The added essential oils of sandalwood, rose geranium and jasmine provide a very delicate and relaxing fragrance, and bring added antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-infective properties. A great addition to a pampering morning ritual!
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil is an excellent moisturising, nourishing and soothing remedy to the skin, promoting its natural suppleness and elasticity. It is naturally rich in antioxidants, which protect and soften the skin. The texture and consistency of jojoba oil is similar to the sebum naturally produced by your skin, so it leaves the skin nourished but with no greasy residue.
Sweet almond oil
Sweet almond oil is celebrated for its ability to deeply moisturise and hydrate the skin. Packed with vitamin E, vitamin A and monounsaturated fatty acids it is known to smooth out the skin, prevent premature ageing, and shield against UV radiation damage. Not unlike jojoba oil, its lightweight nature ensures rapid absorption without leaving a greasy after-feel.
Calendula extract
Calendula is a gentle but powerful wound healer: it heals and soothes the skin by promoting cell repair. It also acts as an antiseptic, keeping infections at bay. This bright orange flower has anti-inflammatory properties and is rich in antioxidants that protect the skin from harmful solar radiation and other stressors. It has been shown to inhibit bacterial, viral and fungal infections of the skin. It is also strongly moisturising and nourishing for the skin.
Passionflower oil
Thanks to its richness in omega 6 essential fatty acids, passionflower oil nourishes and restores the skin’s important barrier function. It is also high in vitamin A, which can support collagen production, helping to reduce fine lines. It also protects against damage from excessive sun exposure, enhances skin healing and reduces acne.
Sandalwood essential oil
The rich and sweet fragrance of sandalwood essential oil helps to reduce stress and strain. It is a potent anti-inflammatory and alleviates tension. Sandalwood’s antioxidant properties also offer protection from environmental stressors.
Jasmine essential oil
Jasmine flowers have an uplifting, delicate fragrance. With their uniquely sweet aroma, they are relaxing and comforting. Jasmine essential oil is also naturally antiseptic and supports the skin’s healing process.
Rose geranium essential oil
Rose geranium essential oil is renowned for its revitalising fragrance and its balancing effect on the skin. Bursting with astringent properties, it helps in tightening, toning, and making the skin feel more resilient. Its natural anti-inflammatory properties can also help reduce redness and inflammation, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive or problematic skin. Its uplifting aroma further contributes to its stress-relieving qualities.
Plant-based glycerin
Derived from plant sources, our plant-based glycerin acts as a powerful humectant, ensuring that the skin remains hydrated, soft, and supple throughout the day. Its natural properties also aid in the improvement of skin's barrier function, shielding it from potential irritants. Gentle on the skin, it supports a smoother complexion and provides a non-greasy texture to our Botanical Day Cream.
Plant-based Vitamin E oil
A potent antioxidant, vitamin E nourishes, hydrates and protects the skin from air pollution, solar radiation and other environmental stressors. It helpfully alleviates dryness, itching, and flaking associated with skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis.
